DoomsdaysCWHow are natural <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DisasterResistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DisasterResistant</a> design elements integrated into <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solarpunk</a> buildings?Publication date: 2023-09-02"In Solarpunk buildings, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NaturalDisaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NaturalDisaster</a>-resistant design elements are integrated through a combination of passive and active design strategies. Here are a few ways in which these elements can be incorporated:1. Site selection and orientation: Solarpunk buildings are typically situated in areas that are less susceptible to natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, or tsunamis. Careful evaluation of the site's history and potential risks helps in choosing locations that are more resilient. Additionally, the building orientation can be optimized to maximize natural light and minimize exposure to prevailing winds or storms.2. Structural reinforcements: Solarpunk buildings embrace resilient construction techniques to withstand natural disasters. This may include reinforced foundations, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/earthquake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earthquake</a>-resistant designs, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hurricane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hurricane</a>-resistant materials, and robust structural systems that can withstand high winds, seismic activity, or even <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeWeather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExtremeWeather</a> events.3. Green roofs and rainwater harvesting: Green roofs, which incorporate vegetation on the rooftop, offer several benefits when it comes to natural disaster resilience. They can help mitigate stormwater runoff, reducing the strain on existing drainage systems during heavy rainfalls or floods. Additionally, rainwater harvesting systems can be implemented to collect and store rainwater for future use, serving as an alternative water source during emergencies.4. Passive climate control: Solarpunk design emphasizes <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PassiveCooling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PassiveCooling</a> and heating strategies to reduce energy consumption and reliance on mechanical systems. Natural ventilation through well-placed windows, louvers, or roof vents can help regulate indoor temperatures. By not relying heavily on air conditioning units, Solarpunk buildings can maintain habitability even during power outages caused by natural disasters.5. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Renewable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Renewable</a> energy systems: Solarpunk buildings integrate renewable energy systems like solar panels or wind turbines to generate electricity on-site. This reduces dependence on centralized energy grids, making the building more self-sufficient and resilient in the face of power disruptions caused by natural disasters. Battery storage systems can also be incorporated to store excess energy and provide backup power during emergencies.6. Water management and flood-resistance: Solarpunk buildings employ strategies such as permeable paving, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RainGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RainGardens</a>, and water retention ponds to manage <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/stormwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stormwater</a>. These features help minimize the risk of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/flooding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flooding</a> and prevent damage caused by heavy rains or extreme weather events."By combining these design elements, Solarpunk buildings aim to create sustainable and resilient structures that can better withstand the challenges posed by natural disasters."Source: <a href="https://houses-apartments.com/en/architecture/solarpunk-architecture/how-are-natural-disaster-resistant-design-elements-integrated-into-solarpunk-buildings" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://houses-apartments.com/en/architecture/solarpunk-architecture/how-are-natural-disaster-resistant-design-elements-integrated-into-solarpunk-buildings</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingTechniques" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuildingTechniques</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingForClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuildingForClimateChange</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuildingDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuildingDesign</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChangeAdaptation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChangeAdaptation</a>

Author: Pearl Small Published: 9:44 PM EDT August 21, 2024 BRUNSWICK, Maine — "Three days after an accidental spill of more than 1,000 gallons of foam containing PFAS at the Brunswick Executive Airport, foam was still seen flying through the air on Wednesday as crews including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CleanHarbors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CleanHarbors</a> and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection attempted to clean it up."'Foam on these ponds is being blown by the wind here, there, and everywhere,' Suzanne Johnson, who sits on Brunswick's <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/restoration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restoration</a> advisory board, said. Johnson said this situation was one of her worst fears for the town. Although the DEP has said they have reason to believe the spill will not affect the town's drinking water, there are other <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmental</a> concerns at stake."'This stuff is a forever chemical. It doesn't go away. So, the foam dissolves, but the chemical is still there,' Johnson said. Within a mile of the Brunswick Landing are three bodies of water that make up the local storm water systems, which the DEP said have likely been contaminated with the foam. Those three sources are natural ponds filled with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fish</a> and plant life. "'Open water body sources was the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StormWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StormWater</a> system for this property. This chemical spewed directly into those open bodies of water,' Johnson said. The path takes the foam directly into two ponds that lead to a source called <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PicnicPond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PicnicPond</a>, which eventually connects to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HarpswellCove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HarpswellCove</a>."'I believe the areas connected to the discharge are already closed,' [but still teeming with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildlife</a>] Melanie Loyzim, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner, said at a press conference on Wednesday. The ponds are mostly unreachable by people because they've already been listed as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/superfund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#superfund</a> sites and blocked off by the town due to past PFAS contamination. Loyzim said those levels will likely increase now. 'What we focus on is reducing exposure and preventing people from being exposed,' Loyzim said.
